I got NHL TV, so I can finally start following the hockey again after 7 years; the league has changed, so has my Minnesoata. I think Koivu is the only player left from when I followed them the first time round.

For those that have NHL TV, will I be able to watch the playoffs on there as well with my subscription (either live or the day after)?

Apparently Las Vegas needs to come up with a new name for the team since their trademark got denied.

Shared too many similarities with a trademark held by a different sports team.

Quote:

A USPTO document made its way across the Internet on Wednesday evening detailing the rejection of Black Knight Sports and Entertainment’s (the company owned by Vegas team owner Bill Foley) attempted trademark. The reason for the denied request? The Vegas mark shares too many similarities with The College of Saint Rose Golden Knights.

Didn't want any immediate backlash from it so they timed it to be announced when the Pats were doing their championship parade. Figured most people would only care or find out about it later.

Then when the parade had to be delayed, something suddenly came up for the Bs that they had to delay their press conference. Just so happens whatever caused the Bs delay managed to get resolved right when the Pats parade resumed.

Yeah he pretty much got fired now because they no longer hold a playoff spot.

Was only a matter of time till they lost it because of how many more games they played compared to the Leafs and them being way too mediocre overall. Might have been able to last till the end of the season if the schedule was more balanced in terms of games played.

Metropolitan division being really competitive this year doesn't help either since they probably are going to take both wild card spots left.

The schedule this year has been so fucking weird. At one point the Bruins had like 6 or 7 games played more than a team like Toronto. Meanwhile, the Leafs for no reason had over a week off in their schedule. Stupid NHL

Coyotes denying rumors of them scouting Seattle and Portland as possible future locations for the team. Supposedly the team was scouting arenas in those two cities during the same time of trying to get an arena deal done with Arizona State which recently failed.

The Hanzal trade is a bit of a head-scratcher too. Great player but MIN gave up a lot for him. He's a UFA after this year too. I get that MIN is all-in right now and didn't want to give up any of their highly touted prospects but man, seems expensive.

The 2 Caps fans in Maple Leaf Square who cheered the final goal of the series should have been hauled out of there....in bodybags. Why? They wore a U.S. NHL teams' sweater in Canadian borders.

Fuck Ovechkin up the ass like the Russian faggot that he is, here's hoping he gets his brain scrambled off the ice into ground beef against the Pens, and that Sidney Crosby continues to gag-rape the fans of the Capitals, forevermore.

Alexander Ovechkin has NO RIGHT at all to know what it's like to win a Cup, and to try to execute a pro-Russia political coup over the NHL....which I'm sure NBC won't mind, cause the U.S. is taking it up their asshole from Russia too. > = (

Typical NHL fans in both the U.S. and Canada....wanting Canada to be fucked for money.

Fuck that shit. Not one dollar that we in Canada spend on the NHL should go to any international expansion of that league's operations. It should be spent on telling the U.S. where to go, while all the teams Gary created die, like both Florida teams, the Hurricanes, Ducks, Sharks, Coyotes, and Stars.

Fuck them all.

And fuck Gary for talking to China too. Like us hockey fans in Canada want to be slaves to China's fucked up whims.
